Platform Shoos Away Younger Voters on Abortion
The Democrats’ national platform doesn’t just lack common decency when it comes to unborn life — it lacks common ground! For the last three years, the party of Obama and Clinton has been fighting to do away with consensus limits on abortion — and based on the latest polling, that isn’t exactly endearing them to voters.
The Left, the Wall, the Truth
